Here's the pros and cons:
Pros:
uses a double convoluted bag (gives a nice ride due to the large air volume).
Cons:
They clunk and make all kinds of horrible noises when lifting.
The shock inside is crap. It's chrome (ooohhh, ahhh) but crap quality. With the strut unloaded I can knock the top of the tire in and out.
You have to grind the bottom bracket of the strut to clear the CV boot.
You have to grind some of the casting down on the spindle so the strut bracket fits.
If you still decide to go with the CT struts, take them completely apart and reassemble them with loc-tite before you install them. A buddy of mine had several of the small bolts that hold the bag to the aluminum bracket fall out. This caused a major air leak. | |

| Re: Easy Street Easy Camber Fix
did this fix yesterday, took a little longer then you Randode, cause all I had was a Dremel with a grinding stone. But got it done, and now have a little neg camber when aired out.
Now all I need to do is order the rear brackets. 
Thanx for the help Randode. | |

| Re: Easy Street Easy Camber Fix
Randode, are the pics swapped? I mean would + camber make the bubble on the lever closer to the inside and - make it closer to the outside? | |

No the pictures are correct. Positive camber moves the bubble outward, negative camber inward. | |

| Re: Easy Street Easy Camber Fix
after looking at page 1 again, i think the pics are in the wrong order.
positive camber would make the bubble on the inside
negative camber would make the bubble on the outside | |
